Long distance can work ๐ Iโm living proof. My husband and I met when living 400 miles apart and things stayed that way for most of a year.
For anything that isnโt actual incompatibility, Iโd personally try to make it work if heโs also willing to try.
Howโd you and your husband meet if you donโt mind me asking?
We met on OkCupid.
Some things that helped us to have fun experiences dating for so long without being nearby, if youโre looking for ideas:
Skype on both desktop and phone allowed us to talk both at home and share walks / time outside. Super super long Skype conversations multiple times a week.
Tabletop Simulator on Steam if you like board games
Movie sharing through Teleparty and Amazon Prime
I know youโre not religious, but we โattendedโ the same church livestreams and talked about them during and after, which was awesome. You could sub in any other kind of thing like a Ted talk or a podcast youโd both be interested in.
Also had two โbook clubsโ going that were just the two of us (Bible and non-Bible)
